Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are 8 candidates for student government: Hal, Mary, Ann, Frank, Beth, John, Emily, and Tom.

The three candidates that receive the highest number of votes become candidates for a runoff election.

i.e. 3 persons out of 8 to be selected for becoming candidates for a runoff election.

Since order does not matter we use combinations here

3 persons out of 8 can be done in 8C3 ways

= 56

no of 3-candidate combinations  possible are 56

Rectangle pqrs is shown with its diagonals, pr and qs. what type of triangle is △str?right triangleequilateral triangleisosceles
Rainbow [258]
Since you did not provide a diagram, I made one for easier reference. You are asking what kind of triangle is the one shaded in red. Since a rectangle has two sets of congruent sides, their diagonals are also equal. When two diagonals intersect each other, they make 4 congruent sides. Thus, the triangle is an isosceles triangle, since it has two equal sides ST and TR.

Which expression shows how 6 • 45 can be rewritten using the distributive property?
tatuchka [14]
6*45=270 is the first step you should do to get the answer you are looking for. The next thing I would do is go to all the answers to see which one comes out the same way. The first one comes to be 246, the next one is 54, the next is 270 and the last one is 220. 6*40+6*5 is the correct answer.
